Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva:
AGTSP, pamho
I hope this meets you in good health.
HpS/ASA - 👳 🐵 🐖 🐖 ... We are sat cit ananda, no? Our body is a duality of pleasure and pain. No one can see us materially unless they see healthy and sick. So if we are here only for KRSNA, Sankirtan, our instrument will be visible to people only if it is healthy and sick.
Read the post to PMD. Describes our current situation.
Have you talked with devotees in Chile much?
Guru-govinda Dasi?
I'm sorry to write repeatedly about the same topic.
HpS/ASA - G, SB, CC are all the same topic again and again, but each time higher, no?
I won't name anyone, but the political situation in ISKCON Peru is worse. I don't identify with the authorities; I don't know if they represent what Srila Prabhupada wanted. Then I wonder if I represent Him or You. And as you sometimes say, "I tolerate my disciples because I think about how much Srila Prabhupada has put up with me". Of course, that's just a sign of your immense humility, which You don't like to be constantly reminded of.
HpS/ASA - Consulting with Tom Brown et al, we are constantly reminded of our hypocrisy, lust, vanity etc.
Like several ISKCON Peru members, we don't know if we're still legal members. There were elections, they chose a new board, and they didn't even inform us. We had a meeting (I won't mentioned names), and when we asked directly if they could inform us if we were still members of the institution, they told us that the president-elect would inform us in due time.
In fact, I didn't even open my microphone or turn on my camera because I was going to offend them. I preferred not to say anything. I had the sword in my hand and it was bleeding
These lines are merely political, sometimes necessary, but I truly don't feel any kind of inspiration from the authorities. I can't give classes, I can't worship the deity. I know the most important service is chanting 16 good rounds, but I would also like to perform some practical service. Sometimes I think back to my service to the deities, which I performed uninterruptedly for 12 years. And I remember you once said in a class: "An apple once, and the deity never forgets." Then I feel good inside
I'm writing these lines to you like a wounded soldier, still standing in the fight against Maya. As I told you on WhatsApp, I go to Mass every Sunday with my sister. It's what keeps me connected with the human spirit besides my rounds. I'm asking you, what else can I do?
I'm still waiting for my Kurukshetra battle to end.
I hope to see Palika and family, Patraka, soon. I'm very fortunate to have friends who are such good people and devotees of Krishna.
I hope to see you at Christmas. Will you still be in Houston?
Thank you for your daily WhatsApp messages.
My sister is fine, She is one of the best psychologists in my district, she is invited to give talks on television.
Ulysses has recovered, thanks for your concern, He is like 100 years old ¡¡¡
See you soon Gurudeva. I am attaching some pictures from my service that I treasure within my heart
Trying to be your disciple
CMDD
HpS - Iskcon the Institution. Iskcon the community of friends. Iskcon with you and Srila Prabhupada.
The Gopis Attracted to the Flute, in the KRSNA book seem to be in all three levels in their lives in Braja.
I live in all three.
I, ASA, are camped in ISKCON Houston until Janmastami. August 15th. We discussed that with friends, Prabhupada, devotees, Brahmanas, Temple authorities, President and they all approved, some have been very aggressive about us staying forever.
Years ago one Temple President told us to leave the Temple because he felt we had supported his political enemy. Later he apoligized.
So, it will always be that way.
Yet, as we become more purified we will see, experience, the political life, village politics, as purifying. Radha and Candravali love each other!!! Yet they also LOVE to fight over their boyfriend!
We are involved in the GBC letters between Gita govinda and Baladeva. We were involved in the previous letters. I think Hansarupa Das was assigned to investigate all the claims.
From our perspective it was not a good investigation.
We think our perspective is accurate about 75%.
It may have been that he just did not have time and resources to do more than he did.
Eg. You can apply to the GBC to become a GBC Secretary for Peru.
Less ambitious, you can apply to open your own Temple, or arrange with others to open one!
We would certainly consider such ideas with our limited abilities.
In Tom Brown's correspondences with the Blue Baboon it seems that Laksmana agra ja Das is giving classes, and Maria of la Perla is decorating the altar in Choseeka. Can you also do that???
Can you and your sister stay with Mitra v. D. D. in the Ladies Ahsrama for some weekends?
We pray to Krsna that you be a veritable Wonder Woman of the Spiritual World and combat the Forces of Evil!
Thank you for your constant association. We all, even Ulysses, can certainly expect that our next life will be in Nadia with Nimai, no?
